A boiling sea of quarks and gluons, including virtual ones—this is how we can imagine the main phase of high-energy proton ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of ...

The famous double-slit experiment brings into question the very nature of matter. Its cousin, the quantum eraser experiment, ...

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, scientists have filmed atoms performing an eternal quantum dance that never ...

Before Einstein, before Bohr, there was a Jesuit priest with a telescope and a startlingly modern vision of the universe.

Patrick Kaczmarek, a junior at Carnegie Mellon University majoring in applied physics and mechanical engineering, was awarded a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) to work on a project ...

I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...

Quantum physics has a reputation for needing exotic hardware, from liquid-helium-cooled qubits to sprawling AI clusters, just ...

The Quantum Entanglement Yin-Yang Paradigm So, we’re talking about quantum entanglement, right? It’s this weird, spooky ...

Controlling qubits with quantum superpositions allows them to dramatically violate a fundamental limit and encode information ...

Electrons can freeze into strange geometric crystals and then melt back into liquid-like motion under the right quantum conditions. Researchers identified how to tune these transitions and even ...

The light interacts with the cavity and makes an arbitrary number of bounces before leaking out. This emergent light is traditionally treated as heat in quantum simulations. However, it can still be ...
